Nice day for it as they say. Lovely route except for the experimental ‘let’s try some new bridleways’ parts where we had about. 50% success rate.
Anyone copying the route look out for the bridleways just before (at 24.5km) and just after (28.5km) where it was very stony and needing more than 40 gravel tyres. We had to do the walk of shame twice.
Apart from that it was all about chance meetings with Tim’s mates. Three times no less - running into neighbours and Beaconsfield cycling people. I was like the ugly mate at the disco. ‘Hi I’m Gary, nice to meet you’ my only contribution. Instead of flares it was cycling shorts. Neither my best look.
Photo outside a DH Laurence blue plaque residence where he lived for a year in 1914 to 1915, a residence important enough not to be mentioned in his Wikipedia entry. We know how to live.
The rest of the ride was delightful small roads and woodland bridleways. Nice coffee and toastie in the garden at Chiltern Velo.
